Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 cup mushrooms, chopped
2 medium potatoes, diced
1/2 cup green peas
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable broth
3/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 vegan pie crusts (top and bottom)
2 tablespoons plant-based milk (for brushing)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add carrots, celery, mushrooms, and potatoes. Cook for 8-10 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender.
3. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to coat evenly. Slowly pour in the vegetable broth and plant-based milk while stirring continuously.
4. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Stir in green peas and remove from heat.
5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the bottom crust and place into a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the veggie mixture.
6. Cover with top crust or lattice. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top. Brush with plant-based milk for a golden finish.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
8. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Chill the pie before baking for a flakier crust.
Use a baking sheet under the pie to catch any drips.
For extra depth, add a splash of soy sauce or miso paste to the filling.
